Travelling from Monumento to Roxas Boulevard and vice versa via EDSA is now faster by 20 minutes after the implementation of the no-window-hour policy of the number coding scheme, the Highway Patrol Group said Friday.

 

Senior Insp. Jem Delantes, deputy spokesperson of Highway Patrol Group, said the travel time has improved from an average of one hour and six minutes in October to 46 minutes in November.

“Based po sa records natin, ‘yung implementation ng no window policy is 7 am to 8 pm so average po ito from 7 am to 8 pm. Iyan ang record ng data natin,” Delantes said in a press conference.

“We have records from MMDA (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority). Sila po nagre-record ng travel time using cars or buses,” he added.

The extended no-window coding policy was implemented starting November 1 on EDSA, C5, Roxas Boulevard, and Alabang-Zapote Road, and in Mandaluyong, Las Piñas, and Makati.

The affected areas are:

• C1: CM Recto Avenue
• C2: Pres. Quirino Avenue
• C3: Araneta Avenue
• C4: EDSA
• C5: C.P. Garcia Avenue
• C6: Bulacan-Rizal-Manila-Cavite Regional Expressway
• R1: Roxas Blvd.
• R2: Taft Avenue
• R3: SLEX
• R4: Shaw Blvd.
• R5: Ortigas Avenue
• R6: Magsaysay Blvd./Aurora Blvd.
• R7: Quezon Avenue/Commonweath Avenue
• R8: A. Bonifacio Avenue
• R9: Rizal Avenue
• R10: Del Pan/Marcos Highway/MacArthur Highway

Vehicles whose license plates end in 1 and 2 are prohibited from using Metro Manila's roads on Mondays; those ending in 3 and 4 on Tuesdays; those ending in 5 and 6 on Wednesdays; those ending in 7 and 8 on Thursdays; and those ending in 9 and 0 on Fridays.

The no-window scheme will be in effect until January 31, 2017

No its not true. Maybe during sembreak napansin ko gumaang ang trapiko that time. Yung one hour and six min. kalahati pa lang yan ng EDSA route. Pwede yan if inorasan northbound kapag umaga kasi southbound ang mabigat.

To a certain extent that is true....

 

Bakit ba traffic? Di ba kasi daming sasakyan. Kaya nga may coding para mabawasan ang sasakyan sa kalye di ba?

 

So bakit dumadami kotse...kasi bumibili ang tao

 

Kung hindi umuunlad ang kabuhayan, can people afford to buy cars?

[justsomeguynextdoor]

magaling naman manggaya pinoy, bakit hindi gayahin kung anong meron sa SG, HK, in terms of mass transport? not enough funds ba govt? not skilled enough ba tayo to plan-implement-maintain yung mga yun? or do we really need to have those o baka naman simple schemes na may magandang implementation at disiplina lang ang kelangan?

Yup. Given natalaga yun. Ang problema nung previous admin, recognized na nila yung problem pero parang mabagal ang pag-isipng solution. Or mabagal ang implementation. Dapat this admin, mabilis ang solution para mabawasan na yang traffic.

[twiddle007]

mag phase out ng mga sasakyan na 5yrs pataas sobrang dami na tlaga sasakyan dito

[BnF95]

Is there a solution to the increasing traffic problems in Metro Manila (and Metro Cebu and Metro Davao)?

One method (currently being implemented) is the coding system which has been used in Mexico City since 1989 (27 years) and has produced zero (0) improvement, the same lack of improvement has been noticed in many other cities that have implemented this useless system (being encouraged by globalists), in fact, it has been noticed that the major side-effect is worsening traffic due to people purchasing even more vehicles to avoid coding, which results in more cars parked on our streets. The only winners are car manufacturers and automotive dealers, in this system.

 

A second proposal is to increase the amount of roads, which is problematic at best since we are in the middle of a metropolis, where would these roads be placed? We would need to demolish huge swaths of homes/buildings to accommodate these proposed roads, which would be built (usually with substandard materials) by construction firms that would be slow and inefficient in most cases (and owned by relatives and friends of various politicians) which would require annual maintenance (for some reasons, probably because of using substandard materials would cause them to fail in a few months), all of which would cause more traffic. Furthermore, these additional roads would quickly be turned into parking lots by car owners.

A third alternative is to create a fast and efficient public transport system, which would be possible if only it wasn't seized by massive corporations and politicians as a milking cow with which to steal yet more money from the tax base of this nation.

Perhaps the first step in a solution would be to eliminate all the politicians.

Three weeks before Christmas.

 

I expecting a monstrous and chaotic traffic all over the Metro.

 

I want to see if maipapasa talaga ang 2017 national budget. Wala man lang balita about that, December na.

 

Some of us wants to see the content ng budget lalo na sa infrastructure connected sa roads, et.al.

[calvinzero]

Mayroon ba na modern bus transport na kayang mag accomodate ng between 100 to 200 passengers?

 

Kahit ang reference ay from the other countries.

Sa totoo lang, to minimize the traffic lalo sa EDSA, dapat palitan na yung mga luma na bus lalo na yung mga non-airconditioned.

 

Makikita mo naman ang kalumaan and kaskasero pa sila sa biyahe.

 

Madalas ko sila nakikita sa Commonwealth Ave. lalo na yung last na pagpunta ko sa Technohub.

 

Hindi ako magugulat kung may maaaksidente dahil sa kanila.

[Lukesolo]

The area where i come fr is cainta marcos hiway and coz of the mrt proj, traffic is just hell. Still, there r days when u'd expect the worst but wud be surprised that there r just few cars out. Heard on tv that there r certain days, like wed or thurs but im cant recall exactly, have fewer cars coz of their plate ending nos.

[*kalel*]

I think dapat tanggalin ang barricades at tanggalin ang mga bus terminals sa edsa... ayusin ang mass transport

[twiddle007]

wag na irenew ang public/private vehicles more than 5yrs old. Ang bilis dumami ng sasakyan dito hnd nakakasabay ang infrastructure

[Argonaut]

Me kotse ka ba?

[Argonaut]

Matagal na pinaguusapan tanggalin mga provincial bus terminals sa NCR? Sa Cubao kaya laging masikip eh dahil sa mga yan. Walang political will ang gobyerno, malakas pa rin mga lobbyist

[camiar]

Remove the Jeepneys and Tricycles from the cities. Send them all to provincial towns and remote barangays where they are needed.

 

Allow only taxis, buses, and MRTs as public transport in the cities.

[Freddie C.]

disiplina sa kalsada. kahit na mas madami ang private cars hindi naman sila pa tigil tigil kahit saan at tuloy tuloy lang ang takbo hanggang sa destinasyon. dapat may puv lanes sa lahat ng major roads para hindi pa lipat lipat ng lane ang mga bus jeep at mga ubar taxi uv eexpress.

 

at ang uv express dapat point to point lang talaga ang mga yan. hindi parang jeepney na sakay baba kahit saan

[pinpoint015]

When people talk about the traffic here in Metro Manila, a couple of "reasons" were mentioned. PUV drivers were reckless and not law-abiders. Traffic enforcers were corrupt. Private car owners are "maangas." But it seems that one thing is really missing and it will be a good start on solving traffic, DISCIPLINE. There should be discipline in every one of us, not just the drivers. But also of traffic enforcers, pedestrians, and commuters. Drivers should follow traffic rules at all times. Passengers, commuters, and pedestrians should follow the traffic rules (e.g. loading/unloading areas). Enforcers should follow their oath, their duties and their responsibilities.

[rooster69ph]

Tao mismo ang may problema walang disiplina. Sa totoo lang panay sisi natin sa mga tsuper ng public transport pero kahit mga pedestrians wala rin disiplina.

 

Halimbawa hindi sumusunod sa tamang pagtawid...kahit hindi muna dapat tumawid dahil go ang sasakyan eh tatawid pa rin kaya ayun imbes na umuusad un sasakyan eh naiipit.

[Gwen Morales]

Tapos pag me kamay na bakal na lider na nag i instill ng disiplina sa aten, nagtatantrums ang mga pinoy at sasabihin nilalabag ang karapatang pantao. Haha!

 

Katulad ng motorcycle lanes, diba ayaw ng iba diyan? Eh diba inaayos lang para bawas traffic at aksidente? Karapatan daw nila ang bawat lanes ng kalsada na meroon.

 

Sa totoo lang, sa subic nasunod mga tao. May disiplina.

 

Dito lang sa Metro Manila ang waley.

 

Tigas kasi ng ulo. Gusto lahat sila lider.

 

Hehe.

 

Kalokaaaaang trapik.

[golpidegolat]

Disiplina lang naman ang kailangan sa problema natin sa traffic. Hindi lahat, pero mayroong mga driver kasi na may "ako" mentality.

 

Bus driver: Gusto ko makarami ng pasahero para marami "akong" kita.

 

Multiply mo ito by 4 (kahit by 4 lang muna ngayon), tapos take into consideration mo pa ang laki ng mga bus at nasa iisang highway pa ang naturang apat na bus driver na ito. MAGKAKAROON TALAGA NG PAGBAGAL NG DALOY SA TRAFFIC!

 

Napakaraming beses na mag iinit ang ulo mo sa daan sa sobrang bagal ng traffic. Tapos makikita mo pa sa Sky Patrol sa TV na, lahat silang mga bus ay nagkumpol sa unahan para magbaba at magsakay ng pasahero at yung nasa unahan ng mga bus na ito ay napakaluwag. Ibig sabihin sila lang nagpapasikip ng traffic.

 

Bus drivers pa lang ang nasa equation na ito ay. Wala pa ang ibang PUVs at private vehicles dito na may "ako" mentality na driver.

[Freddie C.]

UV Express should not operate like a jeepney. point to point lang dapat mga yan.

pag tigil sakay baba kahit saan talagang traffic yan. mga pulis at militar pa mga driver or operator. wala magawa mga enforcer. mmeron pa may mga baril yan

[*kalel*]

First i think, they need to fix the mass transport systems... including the buses...

 

Have they tried survying metro manila via birds eye view and see where the choke points are?
